tekin rs and nosram storm

[ashley123]

Has any body ever run a tekin rs speedo with a nosram storm evo motor ???

Just wondering what they think to the set up

[clumsysaint]

ive just had a new rs pro mate...took it out the box,fitted it and it worked for around 10 mins and died...hardware issue apparently!! id go gm if i was you...the new gm120 2010 looks better from what ive seen testing this weekend,and more reliable

[ashley123]

mine is going well so far its just the motor i cant seem to get much brakes

I've run the old nosram motors before Tekin had theirs available and I ran similar setup from what I can remember.

This is what I run in offroad and change very little between 2wd or 4wd

Dual mode
timing 80%
db10%
bs 100%
tp 4
lm 90% maybe more if you are using hi c rated lipos)
nw 8%

hope that helps

Is it a sintered rotor you have in that motor? Also do you have the brakes set up to 100%? make sure when you are on full brakes all the lights are flashing on the speedo, if not it needs setting up again.

You should have plenty of brakes, I have to turn mine down on the transmitter!

the motor is sintered and im running 100 % on the tekin and 100% on my tx but still the brakes are not no way near what they should be

I've got a RS hooked up to a Novak Mongoose in my 1/18th scale and I can't ever get the brakes as sharp as I want them... it's a real shame, at Caldicot I found myself braking 2/3rds of the way down the straight just to slow down enough for the corner.

Sounds like you've been unlucky with that, I've been running Tekin speedos for over 2 years now and haven't had one speedo failure. Actually I think I've only ever seen one failure in another car. They are definately the most reliable electronics I've ever had..

Hope you get it sorted soon though,
